HONORABLE MENTION1976 & '77: Much of the team

As an expansion team in 1976, the brand new Seahawks needed to flesh out their roster. While Seattle did get 39 veteran allocations, it also got 25 picks in the 1976 draft -- and all but four of them were in the third round or later. Most of the guys didn't do much, and 10 of them never even played, but it was obviously an important draft for the Seahawks.

In 1977, the Seahawks got 13 draft picks, nine of which were in the later rounds. Perhaps the biggest selection of those two years was center John Yarno, who was in Seattle for six seasons. He went 87th overall in the fourth round of the 1977 draft.
